Your Job
Molex is hiring a Finance Manager, Transfer Pricing (TP) to join the TP Finance team. In this role, you'll take ownership of how we manage margins across our global entities, using data to keep performance aligned with transfer pricing targets while supporting strong financial outcomes. You'll lead core processes like margin monitoring, reporting, and quarterly updates, while also partnering with IT and data teams to improve and automate how we work. Along the way, you'll turn complex financial data into clear insights and recommendations that the business can act on. You'll also play a key role in supporting audits by ensuring our analysis is well-documented and easy to explain.
Our Team
You'll join Molex's TP Finance team, a corporate finance group that partners closely with Tax, Accounting, Treasury, and business finance partners. The team focuses on translating complex global results into clear insights that drive better decision-making and understanding of entity performance. This role operates with high ownership and collaboration, influencing cross-functional teams while explaining the value of TP Finance. It's a highly analytical, business-facing team with limited involvement in transactional close activities.
What You Will Do
Use critical thinking, curiosity, and collaboration to lead decision-making through data, reporting, and continuous improvement, including:

• Own margin management across multiple legal entities and TP segments (e.g., contract manufacturers, limited-risk distributors, service entities), evaluate performance versus target, and recommend actions to stay aligned
• Lead recurring reporting and dashboards (month-end/quarterly packs), including variance and trend analysis, driver commentary, and escalation of outliers or data quality issues
• Lead quarterly TP rate updates by gathering inputs, validating data, performing reasonableness checks, and communicating impacts and recommendations to stakeholders
• Partner with forecasting teams, Tax, Treasury, controllers, and business FBPs to improve understanding of legal entity functions, the value they provide, and the beneficiaries of those activities
• Verify completeness and timeliness of expected TP-related postings and invoices, investigate exceptions, and coordinate resolution with Finance Solutions, legal entities/controllers, and IT as needed
• Drive process improvement and automation initiatives (workpaper upgrades, system enhancements, analytics/AI enablement) by documenting requirements, testing outputs, and creating sustainable controls
• Make transfer pricing decisions that influence US GAAP and Statutory P&Ls and explain those impacts clearly to internal stakeholders and external auditors

Success measures / key deliverables

• Timely, accurate recurring reporting and clear variance commentary that enables decision-making across multiple stakeholders
• Proactive identification of margin risks and well-supported recommendations that keep entities aligned to TP targets
• Reduced rework and fewer post-close adjustments through improved inputs, controls, and issue resolution
• Documented, repeatable processes and improved automation of key workpapers and data pipelines
• Strong partnership, credibility, and responsiveness with global stakeholders including Tax, Treasury, accounting teams, controllers/legal entities, and business FBPs

Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)

• Ability to analyze large datasets, build structured reporting, and deliver actionable insights
• Advanced Excel (data manipulation, pivots, formulas, scalable models)
• Experience with variance analysis and communicating drivers to finance & non-finance audiences
• Experience partnering with IT/data teams on system/process improvements (requirements, testing, controls, documentation)
• Strong independent judgment with ability to influence global, cross-functional stakeholders
• Effective communicator with strong interpersonal skills across teams and regions

What Will Put You Ahead

• Manager-level finance, transfer pricing, or similar experience; ownership of cross-functional workstreams or readiness to step up from senior analyst
• SAP and finance tools (e.g., Analysis for Office, OneStream, COPA)
• Analytics/visualization tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau) and/or automation tools (e.g., Alteryx, Power Query)
• SQL and experience with modern data platforms (e.g., Snowflake)
• Exposure to AI/automation in finance (e.g., prompt-based analysis, data checks, automated commentary) and ability to learn new tools
• Understanding of intercompany accounting (billing, eliminations, markup methods)
• Experience in transfer pricing and/or global manufacturing/supply chain finance
